The Broncos are AFC West champions for the first time since 2015. As great as an accomplishment as that is, there is still work to be done in Week 18. The Broncos can clinch the #1 seed in the AFC and a bye with a win over the Chargers. LA will be resting Justin Herbert and some other players for the Wild Card round next week. The Broncos never make it easy, and I would expect a close game throughout. I think Denver will be pushed but ultimately find a way to win the game.
Prediction: Chargers (+12) over DENVER
Final Score: Broncos-24 Chargers-19
